Looking for a nice damage dealer

[Painlezz]

Need advice from someone who has played a fighter class...

Bezerker
Mercenary
Blademaster

Gimme some up's and down's for each class...

GREETINGS FROM YOUR FAVORITE FLEDGLING

 

[Pinp]

Well all three do similar damage imo but:

Blademaster : chainable behind snare, side stun and a dps boost every 7 mins.

Merc : chain armour, anytime stun if crush but other then that pretty crap styles, DT.

Zerk : always swinging both hands when duel wielding, nice damage in hamster mode.

For groups I would say Zerk or BM but Merc by far the best if you're gonna do some solo

 

[Bahumat]

its all similar dmg but its their abilities that make the difference

bm hits hard but their stun style is off a side style....correct me if im wrong pinp. i found triple wield to be the worst of the 3 class's special attack move whatever you call it

bezerker. from what i can gather they go 44 left axe and have some uber 3 move combo. when they use their ability all their hits are crit hits so it seems better than the bm

merc......either slash or crush, if slash you have an off parry style and the follow up stuns. flank does insane dmg plus amy slash is always amazing. if crush you get a tuant style and teh follow up is a 6 second stun. also nice behind stun

what make me prefer the merc to the other is dirty tricks. tbh like pinp said in another post you render your opponent useless for 30 seconds. my half ogre crush merc could beat red stealthers as they cant hit you. so easy to landf stun as well

Without using Special abilities, Zerker can out damage BM and Merc, through their insainly high str (if twoll) and they have respectibly good style chains. Mercs, have a very nice frontal lvl 50 DW style with a nice bleed attached to it, They have a 5 sec stun chaining off a parry and if slash spec (like mine) they have very nice any time(non positional) styles. BM, is the one of the three i havent played much, afaik they seem to have very nice styles in their pierce / CD line, with a 5 sec (i believe) stun off a side style.

With special abilities, two of them are offencive abilities and mercs is totally defencive. Mercs is very nice against other tanks, and is a bitch to fight against as a 2h class. BM's is very nice 150% damage for its duration with no loss to defencive etc.. Zerkers, 50% crits on all damage, very usefull against casters and in assist trains when you don't have the agro, but you loose the ability to evade and parry.

However if i really wanted to have a tank with damage (for group situations) i'd either make a h2h savage or a 2H Armsman.

Hope this is helpful

Crush ogre mercs are pretty class ..slash are ok but I enjoy the thrust merc with dragon fang and flank myself ..DT is always nice but you seriously need a good template ( toa ) to have enough damage output as a thrust spec merc ..and at this stage ( unsure of daoc future post Feb ) I wont spend most of my time on the toa grind ..

 

[Zelh]

between merc, bm, and zerker i would choose, for grp BM or zerker (anyways the high rr zerkers i know are everyday whining of the zerker dmg nerf ^^ i talk about rr11s and rr9s zerkers^^) and if u wanna solo and go in grps i would say a mercenary because of DT and, the stuns, for example in crush spec the stun of the second style of a none combo

for myself, i chose a BM (leveled him time ago, atm lvl 46) because, it will be for grps, and for grps i prefer triple wield than DT, and zerker no because i like thrust spec to make positive dmg on chain users, those damn healers in enemy grps!

roll a fish thrust to b honest

bluntmasters got 10sec stun in chain...second style after parry

 

[Bellona]

bluntmasters got 10sec stun in chain...second style after parry

hmmmm 10 seconds....you sure about this? sounds too good to be true

 

[haarewin]

hmmmm 10 seconds....you sure about this? sounds too good to be true

its true

 

[Bahumat]

its true

lol thats insane

 

[Hansmoleman]

add spirit resists and all this garbage on top its not guna be as high, plus 50shield style is 10second stun for almost no end usage

 

[enkor]

spirit resists?

 

[Bahumat]

add spirit resists and all this garbage on top its not guna be as high, plus 50shield style is 10second stun for almost no end usage

a slash merc has a parry style, the follow up stuns same as the bm but its no way 10 seconds on the merc....probably about 6-7.

10 seconds on shield yeah....you gotta spec 50 to get it. certain class's dont have alot of points so if they got it from going 50 in their weapon line which they gonna spec in anyways it seems kinda unfair

 

[Groag]

To be honest I have no clue about Mercs or BM's, but I do play a Zerker on prydwen, so can add a little information

Hamster mode gives you the ability to get upto 100% crits in PvP (all other crits have a 50% cap against other players, while you can get 100% crits in PvE).

Zerkers have a 9 second stun style which is the 2nd style of the post evade chain.

The 3 style combo refered to above is (I assume) the rear positional, which requires 50 LA to get the 3rd step and has a handy cold DD proc on the 3rd style (which fires every time the style lands).

Usual spec for a Zerker is 50 weapon (Sword/Axe/Hammer, your choice) 50 Left Axe, 28 Parry. Hammer/LA tends to be popular, since it gives you both Crush and Slash damage (Zerkers can't get thrust), plus there are some handy styles in Hammer (particularly the rear positional snare for people who are trying to run away )

 

[Oli7er]

7 sec that is not 9

 

[Bahumat]

imo its bullshit (i dont mean not true just wrong) that you can stun for any longer than 7 seconds without using a shield....duel wield class's do enough dmg as it is and if they get a 9+ second stun its unfair. not all tanks can go from slam to 2 hand and dish out the pain.

The style after parry stun on Mercs in in the DW spec, not slash, so even crush and thrust mercs get this.

Crush mercs get the benefit of the anytime chain which has a stun in it.

Slash I think is generally a little faster weapons compared to crush. Plus slash is the more all round damage type, ie; neutral against most armour types so you won't go from insane damage on one armour type to hitting for piss all on another. Just average all the way out.

 

[Tsabo]

Blademaster:

Blunt Spec lvl 39 style...

When you parry - Stunning Blow - Slows your enemies attack speed.

Blunt Spec lvl 50 style...

After Stunning Blow - Devistating Blow - Stuns target for 10 seconds.

Just looked at alakazam, that is a little bit sick imo.

 

[Hansmoleman]

in pvp solo or dueling it will be insane but for fgvsfg its not going to be as useful as people will die faster so less chance to get reactions of and thier follow up

 

[Jaison X]

in fg vs fg u dont parry.. if assisttrain on u.. a lighttank can do few things... (yes rr5bm..)

 

[Pinp]

Blademaster wins, wouldn't you all agree?

 

[Shintari]

Blademaster wins, wouldn't you all agree?

sure

 

[Hansmoleman]

Blademaster wins, wouldn't you all agree?

thier styles look cool as well jumping and stuff whereas a merc just spins like a idiot
